Community Tasting Note

94 Points
Friday, October 22, 2021 - Tasted after a 2 1/2 hour decant.
Indicated blend is 60% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon & 10% Syrah.
Dark ruby in colour with lovely aromas of sweet black fruit, background oak, sweet earth & somewhat herbal/floral.
On the palate, full bodied black fruit, blackberry, cassis, blueberry, well integrated oak, herbal & earthiness with high acidity & high silky tannins.
Finish is long to black pepper & crushed gravel.
This is tasty, balanced, excellent wine!
Still lovely deep, rich flavour on night #3.
